A fusion of art and e-commerce designed to captivate
Introduction
Overview of Lab36:
Lab36, a renowned contemporary art gallery, decided to take a step forward into digitalisation with the goal of expanding its global reach and making its exclusive works of art more accessible. The gallery aimed not only to sell art but to create an online shopping experience that reflected the sophistication and aesthetic value of its pieces.
Challenge:
The main challenge was to transform a predominantly analogue operation into a digital platform that maintained the essence of contemporary art. The objective was to create an e-commerce site that was both a visually stunning gallery and an efficient system for managing sales and customer relationships.
Strategy and Implemented Solution
Platform Selection:
We chose Shopify for its flexibility, robustness, and excellent ability to customise design and functionality according to Lab36’s specific needs. Shopify allowed us to integrate advanced e-commerce tools without compromising the site’s aesthetics.
Design and Development:
The website design was conceived to reflect the elegance and modernity of the art that Lab36 offers. We used a minimalist colour palette to avoid distracting from the artworks and designed intuitive navigation to enhance the user experience while exploring the virtual gallery.
Specific Features:
We implemented a range of custom features such as high-resolution artwork previews, interactive zoom for detailed viewing, and an inventory management system that allows Lab36 to update and manage its art catalogue in real time. Global payment systems were also integrated to facilitate international transactions.
Results and Benefits
Visual and Functional Impact:
The new platform not only captured the visual essence of Lab36 but also significantly improved user interaction, resulting in increased time spent on the site and a higher conversion rate.
Growth in Sales and Traffic:
Since the launch of the new site, Lab36 has seen an increase in web traffic.
Customer Reception:
Customers and visitors have praised the site’s ease of navigation and the quality of its visual presentation, highlighting how the online shopping experience has been elevated to an art form in itself.
Conclusions

Lab36 is a testament to the power of a well-executed digital transformation. Mindset Digital has proven that the fusion of technology and art can create e-commerce platforms that not only sell but also inspire and captivate users.
